topdogli22 Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I needed to know what is the ATX 12v vlotage supposed to look like in the bios. Im having some problems and i think there due to power. I cant oc this rig a bit. My atx 12v voltage is currently 11.89 v and sometimes drops to 11.83v. Is this normal? Shouldnt i be on the low 12 side? What are your specs?

dmo580 Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 No way. ATX 2.0 specs call for +/- 5%. Low would be 11.4V or 12.6V. Those are your limits. 11.89 is very good. My old Antec SmartPower 1.0 gave me 11.89 despite a heavily loaded rail. My Seasonic 600W gives me 11.77 on idle on my old rig. Even if I loaded it, I doubt even half the wattage would be used =P. By the way, make sure you're measuring with a voltmeter, and not using software readings. Software readings are totally inaccurate and can be WAY off. Software tells me I'm at 11.65 while my voltmeter reads 11.77. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
